Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable tie, and more particularly to an elastomeric releasable cable tie for bundling sensitive objects such as network cables.
  • Cable ties are typically used to bundle and secure a number of cables or other objects for a variety of applications. Cable ties grip and secure the bundle of cables or other objects to prevent lateral and rotational motion of the cables. In certain instances, nylon cable ties may not be tightly fastened around the bundle in order to prevent damage to the sensitive objects positioned therein. In these instances, a hook and loop cable tie is typically used instead of a nylon cable tie. The hook and loop cable ties, however, are expensive and are difficult to apply around a bundle to achieve a sufficient grip on the bundled objects. Additionally, the hook and loop cable ties do not meet the flammability requirements for many applications.
  • the present invention is directed toward an elastomeric cable tie having a head and a strap extending from the head.
  • the head has an end wall, an inner wall and sidewalls.
  • the end wall, inner wall and sidewalls define a channel that extends from an entrance end to an exit end of the head.
  • the head includes a hingeless wedge that extends from the end wall into the channel. When the cable tie is installed around a bundle, the wedge engages the teeth on the strap to secure the cable tie.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of the present invention
  • FIG. 2A illustrates a top perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 1 with latches located on the tip of the cable tie;
  • FIG. 2B illustrates a bottom perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 2A ;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a side view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 2A with the strap extending through the strap channel;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 3 with the strap extending through the strap channel;
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a side view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 2A with the tip latched onto the strap;
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 5 with the tip latched onto the strap.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a cross sectional view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 5 taken along line 7 - 7 with the tip latched onto the strap;
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a cross sectional view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 6 taken along line 8 - 8 with the tip latched onto the strap;
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a bottom perspective view of the latches at the tip of the cable tie of FIG. 2A ;
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a perspective view of the head of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 11 illustrates a side sectional view of the head of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 10 taken along line 11 - 11 ;
  • FIG. 12 illustrates a top perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 2A with teeth located oil the strap between the latches on the tip of the cable tie;
  • FIG. 13 illustrates a perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 12 with the tip latched onto the strap
  • FIG. 14 illustrates a cross sectional view of the elastomeric cable tie of FIG. 13 taken along line 14 - 14 with the tip latched onto the strap.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the elastomeric cable tie of the present invention.
  • the elastomeric cable tie 10 is similar to the cable tie with a wide neck illustrated and described in commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,745,439, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
  • the elastomeric cable tie 10 includes an integral head 20 and a strap 50 .
  • a tip 52 is located at a first end of the strap 50 and a wide neck 70 that leads to the head 20 is located at the second end of the strap 50 .
  • the tip 52 includes standard gripping ridges 54 .
  • the head 20 includes a strap entrance end 22 , a strap channel 24 and a strap exit end 26 .
  • the head 20 also includes an end wall 28 , all inner wall 30 and side walls 32 that define the strap channel 24 .
  • the head 20 also includes a locking device 36 with a release tab 42 .
  • the elastomeric cable tie is molded from a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or other elastomeric material.
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • the elastomeric material enables the cable tie to be flexible and non-abrasive.
  • the elastomeric material gives the cable tie elongating properties enabling the cable tie to elongate as it is loaded so that it will not crush sensitive network cables.
  • the elastomeric material also gives the cable tie a high coefficient of friction against objects it is wrapped around so that even with low applied loads, the cable tie will not easily slide along the objects being bundled. As a result, the elastomeric cable tie can be used in cable management for sensitive network cables.
  • thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cable tie has a flame rating of UL-94 V-0 classification thereby providing the cable tie with the flammability requirements for network or other applications.
  • FIGS. 2-11 illustrate the elastomeric cable tie with an alternative tip design.
  • the tip 52 includes a pair of latches 58 located along the outer edges 56 of the tip 52 .
  • Each latch 58 includes a leg 60 extending from the tip 52 and a hook 62 extending inwardly from the free end of each leg 60 .
  • the strap 50 includes a smooth top surface which contacts the bundle of sensitive cables when installed.
  • the rails are positioned such that when installed around a sensitive or soft bundle, the latches have sufficient clearance to engage the rails without interfering with the bundled objects.
  • the tip 52 with the pair of latches 58 enters the strap entrance end 22 in the head 20 , passes through the strap channel 24 and exits the strap exit end 26 in the head 20 .
  • the tip 52 of the strap 50 is pulled at the gripping ridges 54 until the cable tie 10 has been installed around the bundle of cables.
  • the tip 52 may be latched onto the strap 50 to give an aesthetic appearance and prevent the tip 52 from interfering with subsequent installations without cutting the strap 50 and the cable tie tip 52 .
  • the tip 52 is held against the strap 50 by the latches 58 .
  • the hooks 62 of the latches 58 extend inward from the free end of the legs 60 .
  • the hooks 62 enable the latches to engage the strap 50 .
  • the latches at the end of the cable tie enable the cable ties to be used on any size bundle, and also allow the tip 52 to be managed more effectively.
  • Prior art cable ties with latches located in the strap near the head of the cable tie are unable to secure small bundles because the position and size of the latches prevents the latches from passing through the strap channel.
  • Prior art cable ties with latches located in the strap near the head of the cable tie also do not effectively manage the tip of the cable tie because the excess strap would extend beyond the latches when installed around a small bundle.
  • the cable tie of the present invention is an improvement over the prior art because the cable tie is able to be used on any size bundle, including very small bundles, and also manages the tail of the cable tie more effectively.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate the head 20 having a locking device 36 with a release tab 42 .
  • the head 20 includes a strap entrance end 22 through which the strap 50 is inserted, a strap channel 24 and a strap exit end 26 .
  • An end wall 28 , an inner wall 30 and side walls 32 define the strap channel 24 .
  • the end wall 28 includes a window 34 located at the center of the head 20 .
  • the locking device 36 extends from the end wall 28 such that a wedge 38 with teeth 40 protrudes from the end wall 28 into the strap channel 24 .
  • the height of the wedge 38 is sized to prevent rotation through the strap channel 24 .
  • the depth of the teeth 40 is sized to maximize contact with teeth 72 of the strap 50 when the strap 50 is positioned in the strap channel 24 .
  • the wedge 38 in the present elastomeric cable tie extends from the end wall 28 . As a result, there is no discrete hinge attaching the wedge 38 to the head 20 .
  • the wedge 38 adds stiffness to the cable tie 10 thereby preventing collapse of the cable tie 10 .
  • the teeth 40 of the wedge 38 engage the strap teeth 64 to secure the cable tie 10 around a bundle.
  • the locking device 36 also includes a release tab 42 that is positioned outside of the channel 24 of the head.
  • the release tab 42 extends within the window 34 of the end wall 28 such that the release tab extends above the exit end 26 of the head 20 .
  • the window 34 allows the user to access the release tab 42 .
  • the release tab 42 is pressed away from the strap 50 to disengage the teeth 64 of the strap 50 from the teeth 40 of the wedge 38 . As a result, the strap 50 may be released from the head 20 .
  • FIGS. 12-14 illustrate the elastomeric cable tie with the tip 52 also including a plurality of teeth 64 located between the latches 58 and openings 66 for allowing the latches 58 to compress when the tip 52 is inserted through the strap channel 24 .
  • the teeth 64 on the tip 52 engage the teeth 72 on the strap 50 to prevent the latched tip 52 from slipping away from the strap 50 .
  • the elastomeric cable tie of the present invention is reusable and releasable.
  • the latch allows the tip to be held against the strap after the cable tie is installed. As a result, the tip does not need to be cut off during use and the cable tie may be reused.
  • the release tab enables the teeth of the locking wedge to be disengaged from the strap teeth to release the strap of the cable tie. As the release tab is pressed away from the strap, the user pulls the strap through the strap channel and the strap entrance end to remove the cable tie from the bundle of cables.
